Men's GEL-Kinsei® 3 by Asics Highly Recommended by Whom You Know Men's See Manhattan on Your Feet

The human foot is a marvel of natural engineering. The bones, muscles, joints and ligaments in your foot coordinate to create a smooth progression from heel to forefoot with every step. That's why the entire focus for the GEL-Kinsei® 3 has been to make it more adaptive to this natural transition. It has undergone significant redesign and improvements, retaining all the desirable attributes of the GEL-Kinsei® 2 while improving fit, feel and overall performance. We know you trust Peachy Deegan's opinion, but there is simply not a way she can test men's sneakers as she is not a man! Better yet, Peachy contacted one of her experts who incidentally has been a professional athlete on both sides of the pond playing football: the American kind, not the World Cup kind. Peachy has had quite a bit of excellent luck with Asics so the men's panelist tried their latest model: the GEL-Kinsei 3! He says:

I have to admit I have been a Nike guy for years, but there is always time and room for change.

Asics really hit a homerun with their new Gel-Kinsei 3 with extra cushioning. Not only are these new sneaks light as a feather with Asics Solyte technology, but they feel like slippers on your feet and the support is fantastic. The sneaker looks like your generic Asics running shoe, but they fit, feel and perform like no other running sneaker I have ever worn. You notice the Asics brand immediately when you see their shoe, and while I always have liked their look and design I was raised on Nike so I always went that route, but I am now officially an Asics man. I have put these sneaks through the gamut. I have jogged, sprinted, boxed, lifted and even played hoops in them and while not touted for cross training or basketball, they worked perfectly with each task. The bounce in the cushioning is exceptional, makes my 6 month old Nike Shocks feel like concrete. All in all I love the look, feel, comfort and stability of these new line of sneakers and I highly recommend anyone who is active to give these a try and you will immediately notice the difference. Even walking through the city I feel about 10 pounds lighter in these sneaks. Kuddos to Asics they really crushed a grand slam with this new Gel-Kinsei 3.
